How
to determine your size for your new Cowboy Boots from Timsboots.com

Handmade Cowboy boots made by different makers will all fit a
little different. Boots are made on lasts (Nylon or
wood shaped like a foot) and all of them are slightly different for
each boot maker. Hand made boots of the same size and same
manufacturer will vary slightly as well. This is due to
different thickness and strength of each natural leather and other
factors such as humidity, the boot makers strength on a
particular day, as well as the toe style.

You can measure your feet. DO NOT try to guess or order your
tennis shoe size, or even the size of another boot
manufacturer. We have had success in fitting about 98% of our
customers right out of the box. We will work with you to get
a boot that fits.

The US size system uses numbers to indicate the length and letters to
indicate the width. The Brannock Device you would find at any good shoe store is commonly used to measure sizes in the USA. The size system is
linear. Men's size 1 is 7 2/3 Inches long and each additional size is
1/3 Inch longer.

There are 9 widths in the US system. From narrowest to widest,
they are: AAA, AA, A, B, C, D, E, EE, and EEE. The D width is
considered to be "medium" for men and B width for women. The widths are
linear and are separated by 3/16 of an inch however the actual width
measurement which yields a D width varies with the length.

How to measure
your foot to find its size & width

You can determine your boot size and width using the following
instructions and the tables below.

You'll need :

A sheet of paper on which to trace an outline of your foot.
(A file folder works well)

A regular wood pencil. (Do not use pens or markers or
mechanical pencils)

A measuring tape or ruler.

The type socks you intend to wear with the cowboy boots.

Note:

Feet swell slightly and get larger during the day, so
measure later in the day.

Left and right feet many times are a little different in
size. Measure both feet and use the measurement for the larger foot.

Do not Fax tracings! The fax will resize the
tracing rendering it useless.

Please have a friend do the tracing –
don’t attempt to do your own.

Follow these
steps for each foot

You must be sitting with your foot on a piece of paper or cardboard big
enough to make a drawing around your foot. File folders are
great.

Draw the outline of your foot with the pencil held
perpendicular to the paper at all times. Be sure to hold the pencil
snugly against your foot.

Measure the length and width at the points shown in the
drawing.

The drawing will be a little larger than your foot because
of the pencil thickness. Subtract 0.2” from each measurement.
This will give you a more accurate length and width.

Look on the boot length chart and find the Men's US size.
Next go to the Boot Width Chart with the Men's US size and find the
closest width measurement on that row.

Please also let us know if your instep is High, Medium or
Low.

NOTE:

If you can’t do the tracing, many customers have found that
you can put your foot between two flat, solid objects such as large
books or bricks and then measure the length between. Do the same for the width. Do this for both feet. You do not need to
subtract anything for the pencil thickness using this method.

How your cowboy boots fit is very important. When you've got a good fit
your cowboy boots look better, feel better, and they last longer...so
you get the absolute most for your money.

1. Forget about your shoe size!
Boot sizes are different with every brand and bootmaker. People often
find that they wear a narrower and slightly longer size in cowboy
boots. This is because most boots have a somewhat higher heel, reducing
your foot's normal "spread."

2. Expect some tug and pull. If
your boots go on too easy, that's a bad sign. Ideally, you want to
stand up and give them a good strong pull. You want a cowboy boot to
fit snug around the top of your foot ...that's what keeps your foot
from sliding forward and smashing your toes.

3. With the
boots on your feet, locate the ball of your foot. The
widest part of your foot should sit on the widest part of the sole.
Feel for the ball of your foot with your fingers on the outside of the
boot, or try standing on your toes and seeing where your foot flexes.
You'll get the greatest comfort from a cowboy boot's strong shank and
arch support when you choose a boot with the right length.

4. Check the sole stitching. Once
you've got the boots on your feet, can you still see all the stitches
around the sole? Your toes should be touching, but not pushing against
the inside of your boot. If your smallest toes hang over the stitching
along the welt, then your boots are too short. In this case, try a
slightly longer, narrower boot.

5. Walk around. Double check that
your toes aren't sliding forward.

6. Don't panic when your heel slips.
The soles of your boots are brand new and stiff. Bootmaker Sam Lucchese
compared stepping into brand new boots to walking in a pair of skis. As
you wear your boots, the soles will quickly break in and flex. The
warmth and perspiration from your foot will also soften the leather and
help "customize" your fit.
